In this session, you’ll learn how to write real characters that feel alive on the page—whether you’re building a short story, novel, or personal narrative. Perfect for writers of all levels who want to deepen their craft and spark new creative inspiration.
A message from Judith:
Writing The Other
In this two-hour workshop you will explore how to write a portrait of a person. We will read and analyze some examples from literature. Then, with empathy and compassion, you too will use words to create characters.
No prior writing experience is required; just an open mind and the courage to try.
